Ballane's email was drafted up from memory pre Chiefy stepping down. Much of that urgent angst ain't there anymore. As long as yes the club/Dome do get around to responding at some point, that's fine.

In many ways it would make more sense responding to all these questions at season's end, as by then the direction of the club could be alot clearer for fans to see. That's now after the head coaching change.

It's the pointy end of the season, for both the mens and womens teams, and the ALW side could well be hosting a finals game. Combine that with Italiano leaving, and lots of players coming off contract, plus the big decision on whether Greeny is given the job full time - and Dome and Gill have plenty on their plate at the moment. There are also rumours of the Fraser Park development and a possible 2nd crack at entering the OFC Pro League for 2027. I seriously doubt Domey has had a holiday recently.

Oh and for a informative balanced read on why the Charter School may actually be a good thing for young professional sport people, AP should read this article. Though I doubt he will.
